Welcome to New Zealand at its Best
“Congratulations on publishing the 2015-16 edition of Organic Explorer.
The book is a terrific collection of New Zealand eco travel experiences ranging from well-known major operators to hidden gems throughout the country.
It’ll be a great travel companion for anyone exploring New Zealand and wanting to hunt out the best eco experiences on offer.
I wish you every success with your book”.

There is easy foot access to tracks on the Port hills behind us, and the Halswell Quarry Park, with walking tracks and plantings of native and exotic trees, is 5 minutes away by car.
We also offer screen printing lessons using natural fabrics and water based dyes, and have screen printed T towels and cushion covers for sale.
Protecting the Environment
For the 28 years we have lived at Featherstone, our property has been spray free. We produce most of our own fruit and vegetables, and compost all our food waste. Additional mulching supplies are sourced from our extended family farms in North Canterbury - Certified organic and Demeter. Our home is partially heated from wood grown on the property, and our bee hives are organically managed.
